--- COTTON PROFITS.
Mr. Frederick W. Tattersall of Manchester has issued a statement on the cotton trade in the past year that may not be without interest in China, considering the great Man- chester trade with the East in normal times. He shows that enormous and "record" profits fave teen made by, the Lancashire cotton spinners. Analysing the returns of forty comparies that go luce yarn. for sale on the market he finds a tendency for companies to cease THE FIRST CHINESE NEWSPAPER issuing balance sheets. But he is

in 1917.
More money has, in fact, been made during the past twelve months than in any similar period in the history of the trade. Allowing for depreciation and interest, the profit works out at over 34 per cent per annum on the share capital, as com pared with about 13 per cent per annum last year. On share and loan capital combined the profit is nearly 22 per cent, against 8 per cent in 1917.
There are 3,752,561 spindles in the forty mills. The total paid-up share capital amounts to £1,677,709, and loans are £953,038. The height of prosperity during the year was reached in July and August, wher the margin of profit for spinners was abnormally wide. Since then a distinct change for the worse in the trade sitaation has occurred, and prices now being secured are much less. satisfactory than three or four months ago.
